Think of yourself flying across the country. An engine starts sputtering; cause for alarm, sure, but the pilot does that folksy number--"Aw, shucks, little problem here"--and assures you the others can take the strain. Then a second engine goes out; the sweat trickles down your neck, but you reckon you'll make it to the ground safely. But if the third, and then the fourth, flame...
...woman and adopt a style of tennis play which will call for all the generalship and strength which she can claim--but not for more." Whole new ball game, Molla. No self-respecting Williams would let "but not for more" cross her lips, and muscled-up Jennifer will sweat blood on the court just as soon as rock-hard Andre. You can credit Martina Navratilova for this, what with the way she gave Chris Evert her get-thee-to-a-gym marching orders.

By threatening to withdraw, President Bush is calling Moscow's bluff - in hopes of reaching some form of agreement before Putin comes to Texas in November...
Anil Kumar studies the two crouching fighters as they circle each other in the small mud arena, the oil and sweat on their taut bodies darkening the waistbands of their bunched shorts. From his corner, Kumar barks a command and one of the men leaps at the other with his spear, its tip tracing the arc of his lunge through the air. The other man, squatting low, raises a pole above his head and crack! parries the blow. Kumar calls out a second time. Again the first fighter attacks, and the second man nimbly checks him. Then suddenly...
